A2 Hosting is now hosting.com. The company announced the new name on 28 April 2025, and a2hosting.com now redirects to hosting.com. It sells shared web hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS and dedicated servers, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and free managed migration.

Status: rebranded as hosting.com (checked 3 October 2026)

hosting.com's own blog post of 28 April 2025 says "A2 hosting is now hosting.com". A press release on 7 May 2025 says hosting.com operates under World Host Group.

Visiting a2hosting.com returns a permanent (301) redirect to hosting.com, so older A2 Hosting links still lead to the new site.

The bottom line

A solid performance host for developers and SMBs, but watch the steep renewal jump from promo rates.

What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really ishosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting): web hosting with shared, managed WordPress, VPS and dedicated server plans.

Our takehosting.com is the new name for A2 Hosting.

Its shared plans run on LiteSpeed caching, AMD EPYC CPUs and NVMe storage, with free SSL, daily backups, malware removal and free managed migration on every tier. hosting.com says there are no lock-ins or minimum terms and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check the current price and renewal terms on its plan page before you buy.

Why we rate itEvery shared plan includes performance and safety features some hosts charge extra for: LiteSpeed caching, NVMe storage, daily off-server backups with 30-day restore, a web application firewall and free managed migration.

The catchThe A2 Hosting name is gone, so older guides and plan names may not match what you see today.

We could not confirm current prices in our check, so compare the first-term and renewal price on the plan page before paying.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Fast: free managed migration moves an existing site for you.
Scale breakpoint
Shared plans cap the number of sites (5, 10 or 50) and storage; beyond that hosting.com offers managed servers without re-platforming.
Walled garden
Low: hosting.com says there are no lock-ins or minimum terms.

Still a fit?

If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
